So i purchased a JG Mfg fiberglass top plate. A set of CRP front stub axles. My old cage body shell. For power i went for a 13t Ezrun combo . A standard rear diff ( With the grunt of the 13t i wanted no reliability issues ) Wheels are Tamiya star dish with tamiya hard tires. Rears are losi step pins on some unknown 5 spokes.
Well everybody that has seen this on the track are just amazed how quick it is. Not only that but handels so well through the corners. At Boondal our track is rather open so i wasn't sure how it will go at a proper track. I decided to take her along just for giggles and see if it can hold it's own in mod against rc10,s.
At the practice session it was on rails. Pulling wheelies along the straight. Drifting into the hairpin at the end of the main straight , Jumping was so nice. In fact i couldn't fault it.
The rain came down so it was a mud race again and with no time to do any chassis tuning so i had to just do the best i can. After 3 rounds of qualifing i stuck it on pole for the finals. 2 finals down i ended up 2nd overall . Rain stopped the final round.
Not bad for a bitsa as i call it.
The Ultima can and does punch well above it's weight!!!!!!!
